Nepali Times engagement report
@NepaliTimes - 393K followers on X
Measured over 77 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 10, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 5 interactions against 393K followers, an engagement rate of 0.001%. Measured over 77 original posts, its engagement rate beats 9% of 6,874 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 1.1K times each, and 0.453% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.281% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.6 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 47% of days. Most posts go out around 06:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 77 posts sampled, 17% carry an image or video and 92% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 662 interactions, about 132x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #editorial, #nepalflooding, #repost.

Compared with accounts its own size
Nepali Times's engagement rate beats 9% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 8 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 28% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.001%, Nepali Times sits below the 10th percentile of the 65,980 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.016%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 06:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 17% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 92% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 17% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 92% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 257 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

It appears this was not so much a glacier collapse but the mountain itself falling apart. The question scientists are asking now is what made the bedrock split open this week on Langtang’s north face. https://t.co/Wao0mgouxm

The problem is not just that Nepal is vulnerable to floods. It is that sometimes the floods in Nepal begin somewhere else. Preparing for them requires information and communication that can cross the same border the river does, writes Sushim Thapaliya. https://t.co/BwVMwtv1kl

#editorial Nothing about this disaster was 'natural' – not the glacier melting due to greenhouse gas buildup, not the hydropower plants on trans-Himalayan rivers, not designing highways to follow rivers, not settlements that have grown around them. https://t.co/ALkAlTeu4Z

A flash flood in Rasuwa’s Timure and Syabrubesi that originated in Tibet swept through the Bhotekosi on Wednesday, causing major destruction to settlements and infrastructure downstream in multiple districts.

Wednesday's flood in Rasuwa is a stark reminder that the Himalaya are the youngest, most unstable and fragile mountains in the world. Add climate crisis and seismicity to the mix and it becomes Nepal’s objective reality, writes Ngamindra Dahal. https://t.co/quX5TmcOFN

This loss is colossal. It is a national calamity, sure. But these are also tragedies of thousands of families. How will so many people come to terms with what they have witnessed: loss of family, homes, fields, livestock, and property? Reporter's diary: https://t.co/adycwhzxBD https://t.co/7nyPaegDgh

We have spent centuries drawing lines on maps, building nations out of paper and pride. But the water cycle is the planet's great equaliser. We have spent so long forgetting this. The flood is a brutal reminder, writes Zakir Kibria. https://t.co/ymI7LFw5ak

- What is Nepali Times's engagement rate on X?
- Nepali Times (@NepaliTimes) has an engagement rate of 0.001%, based on the median interactions across 77 original posts from the last 30 days against 393,049 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.001%, Nepali Times sits below the 10th percentile of the 65,980 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @NepaliTimes have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 9% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 accounts), which puts it in the bottom 10% for its size group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @NepaliTimes post?
- Most posts go out around 06:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.6 posts per day across the measured window.
